“Like a teenager on the cusp of becoming a man,Ronnie Brown, the Dolphins offense is facing some interesting times. It is a unit in development,Miami Dolphins, one facing the task of sustaining its fundamental beliefs while also maturing along the way.”
Darlington makes a great point here, and goes on to point out that, this past Sunday,Jake Long, the Miami Dolphins underwhelmed when in the Wildcat were createdation, notching just 2 yards on five runs, adding an incomplete pass and two penalundertakes for 20 yards. It’s not exactly the type of outcome Miami fans are used to seeing from this package, but perhaps it also means, as Darlington suggests, that the Wildcat is on its way out of Miami. Which is not necessarily a bad thing; actually, it could mean very good things for a young group who is learning to gel together.

“Almost immediately after Sunday night’s loss to the Jets, Tony Sparano had already changed his focus.
‘The clock flipped,’ the Dolphins coach said. ‘We’re on to New England right now.’”
Nothing really groundbreaking here, but it’s good to know that Sparano’s head is in the correct place. There’s no need to dwell on this loss. The season is young and there are a lot of good things that can be taken from this game. The Dolphins need to collect themselves, get focused, and prepare to face a New England team humorh a winning reputation and a Golden Boy quarterback.

“Taylor said the stvaryst part of his return was going through the visitor’s routine at Sun Life Stadium, which he had never done before. He spoke with a few of his former teammates after the game, Taylor said, and also saw Zach Thomas, Sam Madison and Pat Surtain — cornerstone Dolphins performers during his early years in the league.”
Taylor had a nice return to to Sun Life stadium, something that Miami fans probably weren’t too crazy about. His sack stalled Miami’s second possession, something that he celebrated with his trademark dance. Sure, it was hard for Miami fans not to boo him at the beginning of the game, which they did, but it seems it only fueled the already emotional Taylor. But although he may have gotten the last laugh on Sunday evening, the Dolphins will have the opportunity to make amends next time these two teams meet.
